Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Paleokastritsa could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some useful travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll touchdown looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to pack a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin. Pick a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your main luggage.
• A condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce your risk.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Paleokastritsa in a flash. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
